Weds., June 14, 2006 | Let's get the truth out HERE is the full text of the statement by Marc Ash, editor of truthout.org, regarding the alleged exoneration of Karl Rove in the investigation of the Valerie Plame spy outing scandal. http://forum.truthout.org/blog/ Ash has taken a non-confrontational approach, and has put the matter back into the hands of the mainstream media and the 'blogosphere', which was so critical of the original article by Jason Leopold, sources for which said Rove had indeed been indicted. The revised chart, which is about 68 minutes earlier than the anticipated or stated time, keeps the same angles -- Scorpio rising, Taurus setting and Leo on the midheaven, preserving the same basic planetary scenario I described earlier today. Here is the revised chart: http://planetwaves.net/chart.php?c=truthout_corrected But the time change does something vurrry interesting: Now Mars, the ruler of the ascendant, is exactly conjunct the midheaven -- meaning that truthout.org is now on top of the game. Any debility that Mars may have had being conjunct Saturn is mitigated by being the strongest planet with what's called 'accidental dignity' in this chart. It's not just angular, it's smack splat on the midheaven, to the degree, within one-half degree. The position the news organization takes in its statement reflects this: essentially, they defer to the mainstream media but call on them to be transparent about their sources and the full text of whatever it is that Figzgerald said about his choice not to prosecute Rove. This does two things: One, it puts everyone who, yesterday, was on the offensive, into a position where they have to defend the veracity of their story. Two, Marc Ash calls for something that bloggers (many of whom have been very critical of truthout), have no choice but to sign onto: basically one thing that we can all agree on is that the mainstream media needs to do its job better, and part of that means being honest and using real documents, not just the quote of a lawyer on one side of the story. One thing that we can all agree on is that we want the truth. So, let's get the truth out. It is incredible, beyond incredible, really, that nobody in government corroborates the statement of Luskin, the very slickest of Republican lawyers, that his client, Karl Rove, has been cleared of culpability in this matter. The mainstream media is quite literally reporting one side of the story; there is nobody to quote on the other side; Fitzgerald has been silent. There are no documents that have been provided. It's just a lawyer's quote. At least truthout.org used independent (though admittedly unidentified) sources, and multiple sources. One last point re the statement of Marc Ash: as you'll read, truthout.org has committed to protecting its sources, no matter how they came to be wrong, no matter who may have put them up to it, no matter what. It would appear from the chart there is a development that occurs soon. The Moon, ruler of the 9th house (the judiciary) is about to oppose Mars. There appears to be something big brewing, and it manifests soon, very likely in writing. The ruler of the 8th house (the truth itself), Mercury, is occupying the 9th house; the ruler of the 9th, the Moon, is in the 3rd (writing, communication) about to oppose Mars (which represents truthout.org). I don't know what we're about to learn -- but we're about to learn something, and it's my open prediction that far from this story this disappearing, we will indeed find out what happened, and it will be baaaaaaaaaaack in black and white.
